All Genres > Folk > Modern Folk > VAN VEEN: One Tiny Life

Ernie Van Veen has been recording and performing since he was 10. In the late '60s he toured Canada and the USA with his father's folk band, The Generation Bridge. After moving to Australia he recorded with and/or performed on the same stage as a number of Aussie legends, including Dutch Tilders, Kevin Borich, Stevie Wright (The Easybeats), Matt Taylor (Chain), Man Bites Dog, The Blues Cowgirls and others. Van Veen's solo CD, "One Tiny Life" was released in 2004, and his new CD with The Van Veen Band, "Drive", will be released later in 2005.

Van Veen has won a number of awards for writing and songwriting and was a judge in both the 2003 Australian Blues Music Awards and the 2005 Australian National Songwriting Competition.

Comments / Reviews of "One Tiny Life"...

"...Van Veen musters up a lot of class and depth of emotion. A cerebral, good listening experience."
- Ian Stephen, Rhythms Magazine, Australia

"...sure to appeal not only to blues fans, but to anyone who appreciates quality musicianship and songs which have something to say. A beautiful contemporary blues cd."
- Peter West, Radio 2XX, Canberra

"Well played and recorded, with great tunes. It would be a worthwhile addition to anyone's CD collection."
- Ross Ward, Ward's Xpress

"The songwriting is superb. The 'stories' hit very close to home and although I reside a half a world away, the slices of life he sings about are like looking into a mirror. I would highly recommend that anyone who enjoys a good story and excellent production values, get a copy of this CD."
- "Sticks" Randall, CEO, Ranluron Music, BMI (USA)
